In other words had she run him over, and sought help and he died that would be manslaughter, if she ran him over and does nothing that is murder...because she did nothing. Hitting a person with a car is not murder, its the lack of action that turns it into murder (in this case; in my opinion). Thats what I meant.

Oh, please, get real. She "did nothing"? Sure. In the same sense that some schmuck can claim "Hey, I didn't kill him, all I did was pull the trigger, and then I did nothing," or, "I didn't hang that guy, all I did was kick a chair. Then I did nothing. Nothing at all. You gonna put me away for kicking a chair? Good luck trying. Here's ten bucks, buy yourself another chair, I'm outta here."

Absurd, isn't it.
